Valentine’s Day, or the Feast Day of Saint Valentine, is widely celebrated for the occasion of showing love and affection to the ones you care about.

During this time of year, V-Day gifts are eagerly purchased in the hopes that ‘tokens of love’ will offer a sort of compassion, happiness, and even romance for couples. While there are times when a box of chocolates, dozens of roses, and an over-sized plush teddy bear might be a nice treat to receive or even to get yourself, but V-Day gifts have expanded in this day and age and there are more personal ways to gift by targeting their (your) personal interests! For one, let’s talk about the many possibilities of V-Day gifts for photographers, shall we? Below are ten gifts that might catch your eye and get you ordering ‘with love’ today!

This Valentine’s Day, switch it up a bit and try a more personal gift for the one you care about. Chocolates and roses are still lovely, but by getting a gift that they will use for a long time, it will not only show a special token of your appreciation, but it will also be something they remember forever. Valentine’s Day is a fun and special occasion to spread love, and with a new year, a new approach might be just what we all need. Happy Valentine’s Day!

As the Editor in Chief of the Phoblographer, we get a bunch of submissions from photographers for us to feature their work–and unfortunately I think that one of the problems for many photographers is the fact that we’re not all using the same screens. To that end, all of our images look different depending on a number of factors that are almost completely out of control. Some of those factors include the lighting around the screen that your photos are being viewed on, the screen that it’s being viewed on, etc. But with prints, there’s a pretty different story.
